Upon returning to Hawaii to investigate his father's murder, decorated Naval officer Steve McGarrett is recruited by the Governor to head up an elite new police task force - his rules, her backing, no red tape. Their first case involves tracking a weapons dealer connected to McGarrett's father's murder.

New Jersey police detective and divorced father Danny 'Danno' Williams followed a case from the east coast to Hawaii. There he gets recruited unceremoniously for a special task-force the governor set up, granting 'fully backed immunity', by US Navy hotshot Steve McGarrett, who only agreed in order to get a free hand to find the drug gangsters who kidnapped and killed his father on Hawaii. Steve completes the team with native islander Kono Kalakaua, who was barred from regular police service after a murky affair, and a graduating academy rookie.
